Without a doubt, for those of us in the luxury arena, 2009 has been a year filled with challenges and opportunities. A time to really take stock of who we are, what we stand for and what makes us different than anyone else in the marketplace. Here, a few of our discoveries.

Great service is the most important differentiator. The truth is, no matter how perfect the product, it takes impeccable service to earn our customers' loyalty. You can't hang a price-tag on it…it can't be quantified…but the truly successful retailer understands that a significant part of the luxury experience depends on always being prepared to go above and beyond the typical call of duty.
